2 “Mwanakomana womunhu, ko muzambiringa,+ iro davi riri pakati pemiti yomusango, wakasiyanei nemimwe miti yose?
3 Danda rokuitisa basa ringatorwa pauri here? Kana kuti vanhu vanotora pauri hoko yokuturika chero mudziyo upi zvawo here?
4 Tarira! Iwo unofanira kuiswa mumoto kuti uve huni.+ Moto uchaparadza miromo yawo miviri, uye pakati pawo pachatsva.+ Wakakodzera basa chero ripi zvaro here?
5 Tarira! Paunenge usina chawaitwa, haushandiswi pabasa chero ripi zvaro. Zvino zvakadini nepaunenge wapiswa nomoto, watsva, ungashandiswa pabasa chero ripi zvaro here!”+
